The Women Who Fought ISIS: Stories of Bravery and Courage from Kobani, Syria

In celebration and observance of Women’s History Month, we bring together experts in foreign policy and journalism. On Wednesday, March 17th at 1:00pm ET, Professor Juliette Kayyem, Faculty Chair of the HKS Homeland Security Program, will moderate a discussion with Gayle Tzemach Lemmon, Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and New York Times bestselling author. The discussion will focus on Lemmon’s most recent book The Daughters of Kobani (2021). The book details the most far-reaching experiment in women’s equality in the least likely place in the world — brought to you by women who have been battling ISIS town by town, street by street since 2014 as America’s partner on the ground.

RSVP to the conversation in the virtual JFK Jr. Forum.
